It has now been decided to open the stream improvement comâ€" petition to organizations other than hunters and anglers. It will certainly be a sweet slap in the face to the sportsmen if some outâ€" side organization wins this contest . . . and they‘ll have only themâ€" selves to blame * If we are to have picketing it should be defined and regulated. Pickets should be required to carry licences and only enough of them should be licensed to do the legitimate work of picketing. Anyâ€" oneâ€"guilty of picketing without a license should be liable to proseâ€" cution. Although there were probably dozens of Fish and Game Clubs approached by the Fish and Wildlife Advisory Board of the Grand Valley Conservation Authority, only six of the Clubs contacted showed any interest in entering the stream improvement competition sponsored by the Board. Waterloo Club was one of those which entered. (From The Letter Review) The lawlessness and vivlence we have seen in connection with some recent strikes is the logical development of the laxity of law enforcement in the past. Irate letter in Hamilton "Spectator", August 14, suggests strike nonsense may some day be ended by wives of the men concerned. It said in part: "I am a striking truck driver‘s wife with three small children, and I think this strike is the silliest thing I ever heard of, and so is their union. The big shot tells you to go on strike, so you do. Then about a week later you do#t show up for picket duty for a day or so. The next day you get a letter telling you that if you don‘t show up for picket duty, you will be fined $100. After you have waited for about 10 days to collect the measly $15 they pay you for compulsory picket duty, they have the nerve to hand you $12 because the other $3 went for union dues. I wonder how many of the truck drivers would accept that much from their employers for a week‘s pay. Don‘t tell me they are men, because as far as I‘m concerned, they‘re the meekest mice I have ever heard ofâ€"including my husâ€" band." This apathy on the part of organized hunters and anglers seems hard understand. Either type of sportsman depends on good water and good cover for his sport, yet many are evidently too lazy to do anything to improve conditions. Not only did sportsmen have an opportunity of improving canâ€" ditions for themselves, but they were offered cash prizes by the Executive Committee of the Authority whigh would have made it well worth their while trying for. First prize was $1,000 in cash and there were two additional prizes of $500. and $200. for second and third. Yet even after holding the competition open until the end of the first four months in 1953, only one more entry had been received. For years striking unions have been allowed to take the law into their own hands, and to work their will on those who cross their paths or refuse to join them. This practice has been condoned by government conciliators agreeing that there would be no prosecutions for lawlessness if the strikers would lay down their weapons and negotiate peacefully with their employers. It is time our lawâ€"makers were waking up to the fact that the rights of the citizens are the responsibility of the constituted authoriâ€" ties. By DICK SUTTON * By George, the Englishman have done it again. Not only have they recently developed a rocket, which to say the least promises to be top hole, but they have finally found a beneficial quality of liquor other than for medicinal purposes. A British medical magazine, The Family Deotor, in a recent reâ€" port said that a bracing drink might well be a good thing in case of an atomic attack. The article went on to explain that experiments with mice have shown that these rodents can survive atomic radiaâ€" tion if they are fortified first with a generous dose of alcohol. Although there is no guarantee that what is good for mice is also good for men, the magazine continues, there seems to be every justification for taking a protective dose of alcohol as soon as it is known that atomic bombs are on the way. Mr. Frost‘s announcement that picketing on the highways will be punished under the criminal code comes none too soon for lawâ€" lessness condoned can soon get out of hand. Now we have heard much talk about the destructive powers of the atomic bomb. Whole cities can be destroyed, the men who should know claim, with a single bombardment. And the radiationâ€"ah yes, the radiation is most deadly. Larger bombs with greater destructive power are being built with every turn of a newspaper page. Scientists rub their hands with glee very time a new weapon has been developed and proven. This paper has always contended that ninety per cent of the vio lence in these labor disputes is due to mass picketing. But wait. Millions of dollars are spent annually for atomic re search but no oneâ€"except fhe Englishmanâ€"have thought of protect ing man from his own invention. Busybodies will. no doubt. condemn the Englishman for suggestâ€" ing that alcohol has values. The longâ€"nosed sect will whisper in the alleys and denounc« the enterprising Englishman for suggesting an excuse for consumption of the stuff. Nevertheless we, and we are millions strong, believe that any effort expended in the preservation of human life is very worthwhile â€" fio matter how silly the experiments may seem. If a dose of a}â€" cohol will save our life theft we will partake of it How about you? Editorial Comment pfl ; NOUSEnOLD FINANCE 32 King $t.
